'''The Great Cave Offensive''' is the fourth main game available in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. It features a large labyrinthine cavern system divided into four stages, with the goal being to escape the cave, while collecting [[Treasure]] along the way. Completing this game mode will contribute to unlocking [[Milky Way Wishes]] in ''Kirby Super Star'' and [[Revenge of Meta Knight]] in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''.


'''The Great Cave Offensive''' is a main game available in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. When [[Kirby]] decides to go exploring, he, without noticing the floor, falls through a pit, which leads him down into a [[Great Cave|giant cave]]. At this location, Kirby's main goal is to get out of the cave, though another goal Kirby will encounter involves collecting  [[Treasure]], that will give him a total amount of 999,999,990 Gold (maximum), which also helps contribute the percentage of game completion. As levels progress, treasure will become better hidden and harder to obtain; for instance, more treasures will require the use of a special ability such as [[Stone]], [[Hammer]], or [[Fire]] to access. Kirby will also encounter bosses, such as [[Chameleo Arm]] and [[Wham Bam Rock]]. The game can be saved by stopping at a save point, one for each level, which typically is located near the beginning of a level. If Kirby gets to the end of the dungeon and decides to "Continue", he will begin the dungeon but will not lose his treasure, thus giving him a chance to recover the treasures not gained on early stages.
The game begins with a cutscene showing Kirby venturing through a grassy plain wearing an explorer's kit (a beige hat and backpack), presumably looking for treasure. In his melodious strolling, he fails to notice a deep pit in his path, and walks right into it, falling down in cartoonish fashion. When he regains consciousness at the bottom, Kirby finds himself in a huge cave, thus beginning the adventure proper. Kirby's goal from this point onward is to find a way back out, and maybe obtain some valuable things along the way.
 
There are a total of 60 [[Treasure]]s to collect in this game. Collecting them is not necessary to complete the game mode, but obtaining every treasure is required for [[100% completion]]. The game progresses through four primary stages (in the order listed below), with a [[Boss]] lurking in each one. The stages are linked to each-other via [[Cart]] tracks. Each stage also has a [[Rest Area]], where Kirby can heal up and the player can save the game progress. Once the final boss in the cave - [[Wham Bam Rock]] - is defeated, Kirby can then return to the beginning to find a [[Warp Star]] leading out of the cave.

{{SmashWiki}}
The Great Cave Offensive appears as a stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. It is a very large stage, filled with various winding tunnels divided into four primary sections, based on each stage in the main game. Included in this stage are [[Rotating Cannon]]s, [[Cart]]s and red hot Danger Zones, the last of which will KO any fighter who touches them with a [[damage]] level at or over 100%.
 
There is also a much simpler version of this stage (known as [[smashwiki:Ω form|Ω form]]) which consists of a single flat platform over a pit, giving it a very similar shape compared to the [[smashwiki:Final Destination (SSB4)|Final Destination]] stage.
 
The stage returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Like every other stage, the Ω form of The Great Cave Offensive is resized and reshaped to match [[smashwiki:Final Destination (SSBU)|Final Destination]]. The Great Cave Offensive, along with every other stage, also has a [[smashwiki:Battlefield form|Battlefield form]], which gives the same shape as the game's [[smashwiki:Battlefield (SSBU)|Battlefield]] stage.
